If it were due to intelligence then I would've just drove into it with purpose and then keep going, I though of helping the other racers instead of leaving the area with you guys intact with those cars at full health, so it was not about revenge but about helping the other players.
Thats cool.
Never try to destroy races and racers in the racestart. The racestart shall be save, than expect everything, most times its good to have a budy who fetches u with a heli in the racefinish. You never know where the racefinish is and u never know if some killers are waiting there for you.
